Yin Zhengmao hurriedly bowed his hand and said: "The ministers should follow the king's orders!" ”

Then, Yin Zhengmao said: "It's just that it is not a one-time effort to change the land and return to the stream, so the minister asked His Majesty's quasi-ministers to first go to the southwest to inspect in the name of the governor's military affairs and pacifying the contradictions between Hanyi, and then seek the opportunity to take advantage of the contradictions of the Tusi, and use the contradictions between the familiar and the raw to determine the policy of Enwei. ”

Zhu Yijun knew that Yin Zhengmao was asking him for power, and he was also thinking about his future.

Yin Zhengmao hoped that he, the emperor, could give him the right to be the governor of the military affairs of the five provinces, and at the same time, on the grounds that it was not a one-time achievement to change the land and return to the stream, he wanted to let himself know that if the Yanguan Imperial History was constrained, he would be impeached for corruption, perverting the law, delaying the military aircraft, and causing chaos in the southwest, and hoped that he, the emperor, could trust him, and he should also know that it was impossible to see practical results soon as the Yanguan demanded, and not because he was in a hurry, he would be blamed after the Yanguan was impeached.

And Zhu Yijun didn't stop reassuring Yin Zhengmao because of this, so he nodded and said: "I will send an edict to the cabinet, and order Qing to be the secretary of the military department and the imperial historian of the right capital, and the prime minister of the military affairs of the five provinces of Liangguang, Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, and Huguang, and also take charge of grain roads, civil affairs, and salt administration and pacification matters." It's just that Liangguang is now under the military affairs of Ling Qing (Ling Yunyi) as the governor, and the secretary should not be hindered by it, and should only focus on the entire southwest to change the land and return to the stream. ”

Saying that, Zhu Yijun looked at Yin Zhengmao: "I will give Qing a silver seal of 'Emperor Ben Zhongliang', which will be used by me to perform the secret presentation, and Qing can directly use this silver seal to play on me in the case of changing the land and returning to the stream, without worrying about not being able to make it difficult for me to know that Qing is in the place." ”

"This silver seal, I was only given to the gentleman who returned to his hometown, and now it is given to Qing, which should also show that I attach great importance to changing the land and returning to the stream, so Qing does not have to worry about being annihilated in the future."

After Zhu Yijun said, he instructed Zhang Jing to remember to send the silver seal to Yin Zhengmao afterwards.

The so-called silver seal is actually equivalent to sealing it with a silver seal when the seal is covered with a seal, so that people can know whether the seal has been opened.

Yin Zhengmao saw that Zhu Yijun gave him the right to play secretly, and immediately smiled, and the worries in his heart were swept away, leaving only the expectation that he would not be annihilated and be rewarded by the emperor after making great contributions in the future, so he immediately gave up:

"The minister will not dishonor the trust of the Holy Will, and make the southwest change land and return to the stream!"

Zhu Yijun just nodded and smiled at this.

And Gao Gong saw that Yin Zhengmao had obtained the right to play a secret performance, so he was so excited, he just smiled, and seemed to despise Yin Zhengmao's appearance, and said at this time:

"Your Majesty, since you want to grant him the right to perform secrets, you can't just grant him Duke Yin, this duke is greedy and reckless, you should be careful of his exaggeration in the secret performance, and Ling Ling, Wu and other officials should check and balance him."

Yin Zhengmao glanced at Gao Gong, and was busy opening his mouth to reassure Zhu Yijun.

But Zhu Yijun had already nodded at this time, and said to Gao Gong: "I know, let's stop here today." ”

After speaking, Zhu Yijun left the cabinet.

After Zhu Yijun left, Yin Zhengmao immediately prostrate on the ground, knocked on the prime minister, and then got up and glanced at Gao Gong, thought about it or gave Gao Gong a look, and then left without looking back.

Gao Gong saw that there was no one around him, so he beckoned Yin Zhengmao to come back and talk about changing the land and returning to the stream, but seeing that Yin Zhengmao had left, he had to sit back and muttered:

"Even if he is in the cabinet, it is inconvenient to let the old man go to the cabinet; But why, Your Majesty doesn't know how many more ministers to add to the cabinet! ”

Yin Zhengmao here, after receiving the holy decree appointing his prime minister for the military affairs of the five provinces, came directly to the military department, and said with a calm face: "Where is the minister of the Wuxuan Division?" Come and see us now! ”

Yin Zhengmao said, and sat behind the main hall outside the yamen of the Ministry of War, as a member with the title of secretary of the Ministry of War, he could naturally directly inquire about the affairs of the ministry, so he sat down directly in the position where the secretary of the Ministry of War could sit.

Not long after, Li Cai from Langzhong of the Wuxuan Division came over: "What does Yin Shaobao command?" ”

As soon as Yin Zhengmao revealed the holy decree in front of this Langzhong, he said: "The list of military ministers with more than 1,000 households in the five provinces of Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, Liangguang, and Huguang will be given to me before sunset today!" The number of soldiers in the local guard post was also reported to me before sunset! ”

Li Cai replied: "Back to Shaobao, this is really impossible." ”

After hearing this, Yin Zhengmao glanced at Li Cai: "Is it impossible to do it or do you want to delay for a while?" ”

Yin Zhengmao asked again: "Then I want to take a quick look, which honest officials in the old department of this hall will be dismissed because they didn't send you money?" If there really is an old department of the main hall that was dismissed by you because you didn't send money, you have to ask someone to intercede? ”

Then, Yin Zhengmao asked Li Cai again: "When Tan Gong was here, you also said that you couldn't do it in one day, or Yuanfu's test method was useless, and you yourself didn't know who there were in the thousands of households in various places now?" ”

After Li Cai was debunked by Yin Zhengmao, he had to say: "Please be accommodating!" ”

"How can you let Ben Shaobao be accommodating!"

Suddenly.

Yin Zhengmao slapped the desk hard, shouted at this Li Cai, and then waved his sleeves and said:

"It's not negotiable! The Ministry of War is different from other ministries and offices, and it is related to military affairs, so it must be ordered and prohibited, and if it is given before sunset today, it must be given before sunset today! If you can't give it, you can hang up the crown and leave, I have no shortage of people who want to be the martial arts selection! ”

"I think it's because your temper is too good today's soldiers, so you have the idea of wanting to be accommodating and accommodating."

Yin Zhengmao said and left here with his belt.

Li Cai looked at the back of Yin Zhengmao leaving, stood still and did not move, and after a while, he arched his hand and said, "Yes!" ”

Yin Zhengmao smiled coldly, and then left the military department with a stern face.

As a senior official above the ministry level, in front of Zhu Yijun, the emperor, he is reluctant and does not dare to show any hesitation, and in front of a first-class official like Gao Gong, he can only be like an angry little daughter-in-law who has grievances and dare not speak out, but in front of the officials below, he will naturally put on a stand and lose his temper.

Li Cai was the same, he didn't dare to say much in front of Yin Zhengmao, but as soon as he returned to the Wuxuan Division, he began to shout with a cold face: "Stop the work in your hands!" ”

The officials of the Martial Arts Division shuddered.

When Zhang Juzheng left Beijing to meet with officials along the way, he naturally looked like he was on top, giving people a sense of not daring to get close, so as to achieve the unquestionable purpose of letting the officials know that the new policy he was promoting was unquestionable.

When speaking in front of Huguang local officials such as Chen Rui, the governor of Huguang, and Xu Xuemo, the imperial historian of Fuzhi Yunxiangdu, Zhang Juzheng was even more different from the careful explanation in front of the emperor, but only said:

"The servant doesn't want to listen to the reason, and I don't want to hear you say what difficulties you have, as long as the servant Huguang Qingzhang is more thorough and faster than other places!"

"What Huguang has a lot of clans, it's not good to be clear, is this a problem? Can the clans in Huguang be as many as those in Henan? So none of this is a reason! ”

Chen Rui, Xu Xuemo and others were all silent and did not say much.

And Zhang Juzheng was very satisfied when he saw that none of Chen Rui and other Huguang officials dared to say more, but only in the boat back to Jiangling did he show an uneasy look, and asked Zhang Jingxiu: "Is there any news in Beijing, what has Your Majesty done recently?" ”

"Back to my father, according to the official words of the living note, His Majesty met with Mrs. Gao, and after meeting Mrs. Gao, he asked Prime Minister Yin Shaobao to take care of the military affairs of the five provinces."

Zhang Jingxiu replied.

Zhang Juzheng's body trembled slightly after hearing this, and he said in his heart: "You're going to forget me so soon?" ”
